We work for you and with you…

• We understand that children need time to settle in a new environment so we offer free short visits when transitioning into the centre

• We know that life happens and that, on occasion, you made need to change your child’s set hours or days. We try to be as flexible as possible with this and, in most cases, do not charge you for these changes

• We also know that on occasion you may be running late, or need to drop your child off early. If you check with us and we have the staff for this, we will not charge a late/early fee for this

• We know that children need a holiday too, so we offer two weeks holiday discount where we only charge you 50%

• We believe that family is important and that you want to spend as much time together as possible. So, when we close for two weeks over the Christmas holidays we do not charge you. Similarly, we do not charge you when we close on public holidays

• We know that no-one wants a big bill to pay so we invoice weekly to keep your costs smaller
